Word by word

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُنَزِّلُ ٱلْغَيْثَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا قَنَطُوا۟ وَيَنشُرُ رَحْمَتَهُۥ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْوَلِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ

And it is He who sends down the rain after they had despaired and spreads His mercy. And He is the Protector, the Praiseworthy.

والله وحده هو الذي ينزل المطر من السماء، فيغيثهم به من بعد ما يئسوا من نزوله، وينشر رحمته في خلقه، فيعمهم بالغيث، وهو الوليُّ الذي يتولى عباده بإحسانه وفضله، الحميد في ولايته وتدبيره.
